Hi @greensock!
Thank you for your reply!
1. Yes, I would like "First" to START at opacity: 1.
2. No, I do not want the element pinned.
3. Yes, I do want the animation to start when the element hits the center of the screen and finish by the time the bottom hits the center.
I'm happy with everything in my codepen example as it is. The only issue I am having difficulty with is #1 having "First" start at opacity: 1.
Thanks for your help!
